What is the main habitat?

The Goliathus goliatus live in the tropical forest. They like trees, leaves, rain, moisture, as well as wet soil and rotten wood. Too hot or too dry environment will lead to their demise. Only dark and humid places can ensure their normal reproduction.

How much is Goliathus Goliatus?

What is the difference between males and females?

The male is almost always larger than the female, and has obvious "horns" on its head, which is used to fight with other males to seize the right to feed and mate; Female insects have no "horns" and their heads are wedge-shaped.

The life cycle of Goliathus Goliatus?

Like all beetles, the Goliathus Goliatus is also a completely metamorphosed insect. It will experience four stages in its whole life: egg, larva, pupa and adult.

The mother insect will lay eggs (including dead wood holes) under humus or accumulated leaves, and the eggs will hatch into larvae in a few weeks; Then it enters the larval stage and goes through three stages: the first, second and third instars. At the pre-pupal stage, they will make hard soil cocoons, which will protect them from pupation; Later, they wait for their exoskeleton to form in the soil cocoon until they emerge as adults.

When the rainy season in Africa comes, most of the Goliathus Goliatus in the soil cocoon have completed their emergence. As the rain seeps into the earth, the shell of the soil cocoon gradually softens. At this time, they will break out of the cocoon and start a new adult life.

How long can Goliathus Goliatus live?

The whole life span of adults is short, and they can only live for about 3-6 months. However, under the artificial feeding environment, the life span of the Goliathus Goliatus will be greatly extended, up to more than one year, which means that the kingfisher tortoise has a long life.
